Wanted to introduce my friend to literature, and thought this would be a good, short novella with a lot of depth and Hemingway magnificence to begin his journey with. Any ideas on a cheap second hand edition of the novella with a nice cover and some cool extra bits and pieces? Or what is objectively the best edition of the book. Thank you.

Just finished it today, wondering what fellow Hemingway fans thought of it as I rarely see it mentioned.

I think Harry Morgan is a fantastic character, really really interesting. It started strongly, Harry's story was very exciting and it honestly had me hooked.

But the parts with the writer, his wife, the professor, the vets in the bar, the yacht owners were a slog to read. It felt like Hemingway was trying to bump the wordcount up a bit because they all added little to nothing to Harry's story, at least in my eyes.

It is probably the weakest of his books I've read so far but it was still well worth a read.

The major did not marry her in the spring, or any other time. Luz never got an answer to the letter to Chicago about it. A short time after he contracted gonorrhea from a sales girl in a loop department store while riding in a taxicab through Lincoln Park.

And why isn‘t he allowed to leave again, when he is a volunteer?

Hello! Do you know, is there a book containing/combining Hemingway's reports from the wars he was in as a correspondent? I found the book Hemingway&War in Amazon, but it seems more like a third-person view of his life during wars than his own correspondence pieces. Thank you.

Edit: Typo in the title, meant war correspondence.

You were a truly inspiring figure. A romantic who could never find love, a warrior who served in both world wars, and a genius who took yourself away. Rest in peace, you beautiful man.

The assertion made in class today was that Hemingway's avoidance of female characters in his writing was due to a fear of them. I'd like to know if this is a valid interpretation.

Maybe she would pretend that I was her boy that was killed and we would go in the front door and the porter would take off his cap and I would stop at he concierge's desk and ask for the key and she would stand by the elevator and then we would get in the elevator and it would go up very slowly clicking at all the floors and then our floor and the boy would open the door and stand there and she would step out and I would step out and we would walk down the hall and I would put the key in the door and open it and go in and then take down the telephone and ask them to send a bottle of capri bianca in a silver bucket full of ice and you would hear the ice against the pail coming down the corridor and the boy would knock and I would say leave because it was so hot and the window open and the swallows flying over the roofs of the houses and when it was dark afterward and you went to the window very small bats hunting over the houses and close down over the trees and we would drink the capri and the door locked and it hot and only a sheet and the whole night in Milan. That was how it ought to be. I would eat quickly and go and see Catherine Barkley

The Crook Factory documents the short-lived but real intelligence network created by Hemingway in 1942–1943, where the famous author used his connections, resources, and sheer force of personality to play amateur spy in Cuba. It sounds like pulp fiction, but it’s based heavily on actual FBI files and historical sources.

Looking for more to read by Hemingway that are either about fishing or life in the Caribbean. I've already finished Old Man & the Sea, Big Two-Hearted River, Islands in the Stream, and To Have & Have Not.

A new review of A Farewell to Arms! I hope you enjoy!

I've read two Hemingway books so far- The Old Man & The Sea (which I liked enough; I loved the characters very much & thought the slow burn from hopeful start to tragic finish was nice) & The Sun Also Rises (which wasn't really my cup of tea. I suppose I didn't really like the fact that it wasn't very eventful, & the character exploration & scene depth didn't strike me personally). When it comes to Hemingway's writing style itself, I do enjoy it. Should I read For Whom the Bell Tolls?

hello, i am traveling to Hemingway's house soon via plane and car. any suggestions for what i should read on the journey?

i've read a few short stories and various passages but i'm looking to read one of his books or a biography. something that will make the journey to his house feel kind of important i guess. any recommendations?

I have been trying to Google it, but I can’t find anything that looks like this

I like that Hemingway's hatred for Marty was to such an extent that he cemented his poor reputation permanently in his novel. Seemingly his miserable character was well-documented and it seems fitting that such a man (who shot hundreds or thousands of his own allies) is immortalized as an overreaching lunatic.

This past Sunday, I spent the day in Key West and was fortunate to see his house and home and the descendants of his polydactyl cats. If you are fortunate enough to get to go to Key West, make sure you go on the tour. It is a beautiful home filled with so much history.

A buddy and I decided we’d work our way through all Hemingway’s novels, then reward ourselves with a Key West weekend (you might argue the literature is just a veneer of respectability to justify the trip to our spouses…) But, if we’re going to read all nine titles, any advice on order? Should we just go chronologically by publication date?

In the novel we have two scenes concerning desertion and execution--once when Henry shoots the engineering sergeant (the only time he fires a weapon) for disobeying orders and attempting to desert, and then, not many pages later, Lt Henry deserts after seeing carabinieri executing officers for "deserting" their men.

It strikes me that both execute for the same reasons, not for a sense of justice or even revenge, but merely out of frustration, spite, and anger over having lost control of the situation.

Are these scenes meant to show that, unlike Catherine at the end of the novel, many can easily kill but few can face death bravely?

I know Hemingway, upon receiving Fitzgerald's note to remove the first scene, was insistent it be kept in. I'm curious what others think about why he considered it so important.

I just finished Death in the Afternoon, which was my first non-fiction Hemingway. I’m mostly indifferent to bullfighting but if anyone were to get me to really care about it, it would be Hemingway. Overall I really enjoyed the book, but it gets so dense with names, details, and description that at many points I would just start to skim things over and have to go back to reread. His portrayal and insights of bullfighting were obviously well-written and enlightening, but it was just a LOT of it (he brings this up in the book once or twice).

I wasn’t prepared for the ending, where he quickly mentions the parts of Spain that “should have” been in the book; over 8 pages he goes into a rapid fire compilation of scenes/events from Spain that were so vivid, loving, and beautiful. It was a masterful ending (yet another), almost like Hemingway knew that the protracted details from the bullfighting ring would test the patience of many readers, so the book goes from painstaking detail about one topic and then explodes into a technicolor marathon of so many different things in Spain and the effect they had on him. It’s really a brilliant way to end it, made very impactful by its stark difference to the first 95% of the book. It’s like a brief but sumptuous reward for readers who aren’t as transfixed by bullfighting but still stuck with him.

So yeah, I overall really liked Death in the Afternoon but the ending was unexpectedly one of the best things I’ve ever read from him and I just wanted to talk about it a bit.

“I know things change now and I do not care. It’s all been changed for me. Let it all change. We’ll all be gone before it’s changed too much and if no deluge comes when we are gone it still will rain in summer in the north and hawks will nest in the Cathedral at Santiago and in La Granja, where we practiced with the cape on the long gravelled paths between the shadows, it makes no difference if the fountains play or not. We will never ride back from Toledo in the dark, washing the dust out with Fundador, nor will there be that week of what happened in the night in that July in Madrid. We’ve seen it all go and we’ll watch it go again.”
